Hi-fi speakers

Best desktop speaker, Awards 2013. Stylish, well-featured and delivering hi-fi quality sound, the MR1s certainly mean business

Fine speakers that are more functional than special

Give them plenty of space and the Dali Epicon 8s will deliver a muscular sound that’s packed full of enthusiasm

We love the upbeat approach, but their performance is too uneven to wholeheartedly recommend

Accomplished and refined speakers that are outclassed by stronger newcomers

There are more talented rivals on the scene, but the veterans are enduring greats

The Caterthun has strengths but we expect a more rounded product at this price

The finest Spendor speakers we’ve heard in years. When it comes to insight and precision, these floorstanders set the standard at this price

The TD508Mk3 aren’t for everybody but nothing at this price level comes close in their areas of strength

If you’re looking for a top-class pair of floorstanders, these ProAcs are as musical as they come
